Deal 002 ❖ [Video]

[And onto the video screen comes a grinning face, looking just a bit excited. But then, he has something in his conniving little head. He can't quite seem to help it.

Or maybe he can. Half of his actions are a carefully kept facade. But either way, here's the grin and the video feed fidgets just a bit as he sets it down on a table.]

Good afternoon to everyone! I... am looking for something.

I think I'm getting the general lay of this place. Yesyes, it's starting to make sense. Fascinating as it is. Strange as it is. But I've yet to find a certain something I would rather like to acquire.

So tell my, dearies, can anyone tell me where I might find a spinning wheel?

Construct one? I expect that's an option. [He's much more interested in the one Maleficent has now. Really, his finding that tidbit out is probably a dangerous, dangerous thing.]

But thank you, deary. I do seem to be settling in well enough.

[sanguineheels]

What is it you're looking to do with the spinning wheel? I think I've seen plenty of places to find clothes here. Unless it's a hobby?

[she's genuinely curious. You're a strange man, Rumple.]

[video]

[intogold]

Spin, deary. [Another laugh.] I don't make clothes myself, just spin. But yes, it's a hobby. It was my profession a lifetime ago. Now I find it soothing. Call it... nostalgia.

[video]

[sanguineheels]

[well, spinning IS the first step in clothesmaking. She nods though.]

Mm... I suppose it could be soothing. [she is not so sure she would find it so herself.] What do you do with the thread once you've made it?

[video]

[intogold]

These days, well, I tend to use it in barter. [Little giggle.] I spin straw into gold, after all. It comes in handy!

[video]

[sanguineheels]

Barter....? [wait. what?] Gold!? But.. how?

[video] th-that icon XD

[intogold]

[He grins, looking for all the world like the cat who caught the canary.] It's a special talent of mine.

[video] she's derpin' 8D

[sanguineheels]

[oh and he likely has every right to.] Ah! That's quite the talent. I can't imagine...

[video]

[intogold]

I'll admit it's a bit unique. But it's simple magic, deary. Really. [Not that simple, but. He's still fond of it.]

[video]

[sanguineheels]

Hmm. I think you're being modest! It must have taken practice.

[video]

[intogold]

The spinning aprt, certainly. After all, it was my trade most of my life. I did grow rather good at it.

[sanguineheels]

I'd love to see what kind of work you do, sometime. I'm sure it's all quite beautiful.

[intogold]

Then I'll have to show you sometime, deary.

[sanguineheels]

That would be nice. I can keep an eye out for a spinning wheel for you if you'd like, too!

[intogold]

Why deary, I'd be very much obliged if you would!

[sanguineheels]

I'll make sure to then. It's the least I could do. Is there anything else you're having trouble finding?

[intogold]

No, that's the only item I'm having trouble acquiring.

[sanguineheels]

Alright then. I'll be sure to keep an eye out. I'll get in contact in case I see one. [she pauses, looking thoughtful.] If you find one, you'll let me know, won't you?

[intogold]

Of course, deary.
